# AI connections (MCP) overview

> Connect an AI assistant to your Callivox workspace so it can read your conversations, agents, channels and billing — and manage agents for you.

Callivox can be connected to an AI assistant — the kind you run as a desktop or web AI client — so
you can ask it questions about your workspace in plain language and have it act on the answers. It
uses **MCP** (Model Context Protocol), the standard way AI clients connect to outside systems.

## What it is for

Once connected, your AI assistant can answer questions that would otherwise mean clicking through
several pages:

* *"How many conversations came in on WhatsApp this week?"*
* *"Which of my AI agents are turned off?"*
* *"What's my credit balance, and what did we spend it on?"*
* *"Summarise the last conversation with this customer."*
* *"Create a support agent for the web widget with these instructions."*

It reads live data from your own workspace only. It never sees another Callivox customer's data.

## Where to find it

Go to **Settings → AI Connections**. The page holds two cards:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="MCP server URL" icon="link">
    Your workspace's address. Copy it and paste it into your AI client — the client then walks you
    through sign-in and consent.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Connected AI clients" icon="plug">
    Every client that has been granted access, what it was allowed to do, when it connected and when
    it was last used — with a **Revoke** button on each.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

The page is **Admin only**, and it appears only on plans that include AI features. If you do not see
it, check your role and your plan.

## How access is controlled

Access is granted per client, and per **scope**. A scope is one category of access — reading
conversations, reading channels, managing agents, and so on. When a client connects, Callivox shows
you a consent screen listing exactly what it is asking for, and you approve or deny it.

Two rules matter:

* **Admins can grant every scope. Members can only grant "Read conversations."** Anything else a
  client asks a Member for is shown locked, marked **admin only**, and is not granted.
* **A connection can be revoked at any time**, from the same page, and access stops immediately.

[Tools and scopes](/mcp/tools-and-scopes) lists each scope and everything it unlocks.

<Warning>
  With the **Create & manage AI agents** scope granted, the assistant's changes are real and take
  effect on your live configuration straight away — including deleting an agent. Grant that scope
  only to a client you trust, and be specific about what you ask it to change.
</Warning>
